I stopped by here earlier today by myself for dinner. The inside was mostly empty when I arrived at…read more7 PM on a Monday, with 10 empty tables and 4 occupied ones, along with most of the bar area being empty. I will say that the decor was nice, with blues and whites that were reminiscent of the sea. The bar also had a large TV mounted above it with an aquarium scene playing. The lights also seemed to have an aqua theme and reminded me of bubbles rising through the ocean, although I thought the restaurant itself felt quite dim. For dinner on this evening, I decided to start with the fried calamari appetizer and then went with the Crudo Burger for my entree. The menu described the fried calamari as "tender calamari lightly fried and sautéed with tempura zucchini, banana peppers, and garlic butter." The Crudo Burger was described as an "8 oz house blend burger topped with lightly fried Brie, bacon pepper jam, roasted garlic aioli, and arugula on a buttery baked brioche, served with our signature fries." The calamari came out first and had great breading that was light and sort of shattered when I bit into it. I loved the banana peppers, but the calamari itself was rubbery. The zucchini was a fun addition that helped break up the flavors, and I wish there had been more of it. I also would have liked to taste more of the garlic butter. Once I finished that, my Crudo Burger came out, and between the burger and all the French fries, it was absolutely massive. On my first bite, I got hints of maple from the bacon jam. The burger itself was cooked nicely to a medium and had great flavor, while the bun was nicely toasted. My fries were good as well, seasoned nicely with some Parmesan and truffle flavor. Last but not least was the fried Brie in the middle of my burger. Honestly, it sort of put me over the top, and after eating it, I couldn't finish anything else. I ended up getting both the check and a to-go box for half of my burger and three-quarters of my fries. It's worth noting that my server was nice and enthusiastic throughout my time there. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While I felt that the calamari was overcooked, the burger and fries were delicious, and I thought the decor was tastefully done as well.

I also ended up getting a side order of the feta fries. I did not order in advance. I just ordered at the register. I was the only person in the store and the service was really fast. The sandwich was delicious and the fries were as well. The serving size for the fries was ginormous so I actually got about three or four servings out of them. I also thought that the sandwich size was generous and I was able to save half of my sandwich for lunch for another day. Overall, this was a good experience and I would go back to get a fresh sandwich from a local business rather than go to a franchise sandwich shop. I'm interested to try some of their breakfast sandwich options because their menu says that they use an Armenian bread.

Cute locally owned cafe in Smithfield. I had been wanting to try Starry Night for awhile and I…read morefinally made plans to meet a friend here. The cafe has comfortable couch and plush chair seating, as well as tables with traditional cafe chairs and is decorated so nicely with the starry night theme, and also cat lover decor. So cute! We both opted for iced coffees - my 16 oz Twix decaf latte ($8.50) was ok, but didn't have enough coffee taste - It tasted more like a sweet milk, and it was pretty pricey for the size. I also ordered a chocolate croissant ($5.99), which was very good. Service was super sweet - everyone was very kind and friendly and accommodating with special requests. The house made pop tarts looked delicious, and I would also like to try their biscuits.

I have a picture below. We visited RI during the Christmas season, so we not only got to see how lovely this cafe was, but also their awesome Grinch-themed Christmas decor. The walls are filled with cool artwork, but the centerpiece is a mural on the wall of Van Gogh's masterpieces "Starry Night." The owner, Mia, is great to talk to. She takes great pride in what she has envisioned here, and I'm always happy to support a great, small business. She told me about all of their craft latte's and it was really hard to choose. I went with a Gingerbread latte and my wife had the Rhode Islander, which is a latte with coffee syrup. There are so many other drinks to try, so I will probably try to come back while I'm still in town. The latte's were delicious and really such a treat. They also have some pastries, which most are baked in-house. They looked really good! I also love the merchandise they sell which was all local products and things made by local artists. I highly recommend going to Starry Night if you're in the area and skip the chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

She has a little spunk, but a sweet caring lady nonetheless. I decided to try the fish and chips after Lisa told me it was the best in town. I'm not big on fried fish and prefer grilled, but this fish was pretty good even though it was breaded and fried. The cod (I think) fish was thick and flaky. It tasted like fish but not too fishy. The tarter sauce was good too. The fries (chips) were solid as well. Thank you Orchard Grill and Lisa for another nice meal and memory in Smithfield!

I've seen on social media that people complained about the new location having mainly street parking - we both found parking easily on the street - quit yer b*tchin' people lol. Besides I believe they have a lot behind the restaurant that we didn't have to use but it's there if needed. We were the only ones there when we first walked in but more patrons came in as the night went on. Made our way to the bar and orders were flowing - one warning if you're sitting at the bar, it is an open kitchen so there will be alot of aromas flowing through and may get on your clothes but really it'll just remind you of how good the food was. Also, the barstools are not the most comfy - metal stools with no backing so after 2.5 hours, we were feeling a bit achy. We ordered way more than we should've but everything just looked so good! We got the croquettes (our absolute fave), the cauliflower, the pizza du jour (I think it had spinach, pepperoni, ricotta and garlic) and for entrees we got the fish tacos and the Orecchiette. Not one complaint - everything was divine. Croquettes were melty, smoky little nuggets of heaven and our favorites bites of the night. The pizza had a great balance of flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. We were so full but had a few bites of the fish tacos and pasta - the fish was cooked to perfection and the aioli it came with topped it perfectly. Pasta was different - had a scallion cream sauce that was a nice change up from your typical Alfredo. Don't sleep on this place - the street is busy being on a main road but so well worth the visit, I didn't catch our bartender's name but he and a few other servers were super personable and friendly - gave us just enough time in between meals and personal space to not hover. Absolutely will return!

We decided to give it a try, and I honestly can't believe we didn't find this place sooner! We walked in on a Sunday and were surprised to see quite a few open tables. Even better, we only had about a five-minute wait. The host was extremely friendly and welcoming right from the start. The atmosphere in here is AMAZING. The decor is beautiful, modern, and looks brand new. There's a real Latin vibe throughout the restaurant, which we absolutely loved. They even had a gentleman walking around playing what I believe was a violin at the tables. It was such a nice touch, and the music just added to the whole experience. Between the atmosphere, music, and how welcoming everyone was, we felt right at home. Now, the food! Absolutely next level. I ordered one of the skillets (although it doesn't actually come in a skillet), and it was SO good. The steak was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor. Every bite was delicious. Our waitress was also extremely nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We seriously can't say enough good things about this place. We live right in town, so I have a feeling we'll be back about a thousand more times. I'm honestly just disappointed that we didn't know about it sooner! If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. It's definitely a MUST TRY. We had an amazing experience from beginning to end, and now I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their dinner menu. Don't overlook this place!

It's a great sports bar to watch football and they have a great center bar, plus tons of other seating. The first night we got into town around 830pm and were starving after our day of travel. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. It was the best I've ever had. HUGE chunks of lobster and amazing flavor. I came back from RI two weeks ago and I feel like I dream about this Mac and cheese The second night I opted for the salt and vinegar wings (not pictured).

They usually have seasonal options and I love that. Drinks are creative and they have a lot to pick from. The ambiance is great. We actually enjoy sitting at the 'pizza bar'. It's fun to watch the cooks at work. There's no bad here and I'll come back as it's my local pub option. But when pressed to suggest a favorite dish recently by someone who was with us, I had to confess that I can't recommend anything. I've tried so many things on the menu and all have been decent but nothing stands out. If I was not local, I'd never come back. When I think of other similar pub-like restaurants in the state, (Charlestown Rathskeller, The East End) I travel way out of my way for them. Blackie's gets my business just when I'm not in the mood or have the time to take a longer drive.
